Cy,

 

You should use the plugging method, as this is much stronger then inserting
a section. After plugging, you can cover with veneer to hide the plugs. By
using West Systems 2 part glue, this will strengthen the plank, and make it
much stronger then inserting a section.

Subject: Pinblock partial replacement?

 

Does anyone have handy a reference to repairing a pinblock by routing out
the center section and replacing it?  I've looked in these archives and in
the 20 years of the journal, and haven't found it.  Searching on "pinblock"
gives a lot of hits!  Even adding "insert, partial, and router" doesn't
help...

 

My friend has a Chickering grand with a stepped, curved, two-piece block to
replace, and this looks like a good approach.
